FYSP 087 - Psychological Mythbusters: What do we believe, why do we believe it, and is it true?


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4SS, WR
Common beliefs about human nature and behavior (opposites attract; Freudian slips reveal unconscious desires) will be explored in this seminar. We will be psychological mythbusters, investigating which beliefs have scientific merit and which appear to be false. We will address the bases of our beliefs, scientific means of evaluating them, mental processes proposed to explain the human behaviors involved, and the implications of popular beliefs on our society.
